Somebody else posted this in another thread;
In June 1933, the so-called Wehrstahlhelm (which consisted of the Jungstahlhelm, the Stahlhelm's sports units and all other Stahlhelm members below the age of 35) was subordinated and attached to the SA. [The rest of the Stahlhelm, made up of the so-called Kernstahlhelm, carried on for a while as the "NSDFB (Stahlhelm)" until, after further SA-influence, re-organisations, size reductions and the introduction of a new, somewhat less military-style uniform in 1934, it was eventually completely dissolved in November 1935.]
These people all became part of the SA after Hitler Chancellor.
And from other posts it appears these pins were worn on their hats as cap insignia. That makes it in my mind a more desirable "tinnie" since it was actually an early uniform insignia. -
That's essentially the way I understand it, Brian.
